SCOPE AND OBJECTIVESRecent years have seen a powerful increase in large-scale, high-performance distributed infrastructures that reach across organizational and national borders. The strong trends to data centre re-centralization, catalyzed by the advent of virtualized infrastructures, compound the range of high-performance platforms and have spawned new commercial computing options, e.g., Cloud Computing. While creating new opportunities for applications, this proliferation also presents challenges to the operation of management of the resulting high-performance IT platforms.

HPPM aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from the domains of distributed large-scale computing applications, operations and management. The workshop will include presentations of contributed high-quality papers in these areas.

The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

Architectures

Management in Grids

Management of Supercomputing installations

Virtual Organizations

Management and Operation of Clouds and IaaX

Novel Applications in the Cloud

Management of Clusters

Management Extensions to Middleware

Scheduling and Resource Management

Virtualized Environments

Host Virtualization Management

Networks Virtualization Management

Storage Virtualization Management

I/O Systems Virtualization

IT Service Management

Network and Interconnects

High-speed/High-capacity Links

Protocols

Performance

Functional Areas

Fault and Configuration Management

Performance Management and Accounting

Security Management

Benchmarking and Measurments
